Anyone ever seen a USB to PCI adapter?

I have a MiniTower PC without PCI slots but have 2 USB slots anyone ever heard of a PCI to USB adapter?

external PCI setups seem to run around $1000. (For one example see:

I did not see one for USB. It would be extremely slow so is not a 'recommended' solution.

It would be a lot cheaper and more efficient to just buy a new motherboard.
